His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 3:10-11
It must have been amazing!
Since the beginning of time, God's rules had been fairly plain: Sin leads to death.
Lucifer started a battle, and the Father cast him out of heaven. Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, and they were banished from Eden. The Israelites rebelled time and time again, and eventually the promised land was taken from them.
Those is heaven thought they understood what God had in mind.
Then He became a man.
He entered the fallen place and redeemed it.
He became nothing, and He chose the very ones who had rebelled against Him to tell the world about His plan. It would have been interesting to hear the questions in heaven. "You are going to do WHAT?!"
How amazing it must have been!
Lord, Your grace is worthy of sharing. Help me to tell the story of Your redemption - not so much in words, but by the way I live. Let others be amazed by Your eternal purposes in me. Give me the strength to endure.
